If you're from a non English speaking country, do you first have to learn English if you want to get into programming?

Not programming but the question reminded me of Aviation English. All pilots and air traffic controllers must learn how to speak "aviation english" in order to communicate. It's essentially a few hundred English words and basic syntax all related to aviation. I'd say learning a programming language is kind of like learning Aviation English.
